Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for GFRA1(NM_005264.8) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and neurturin (NTN) are two structurally related, potent neurotrophic factors that play key roles in the control of neuron survival and differentiation. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the GDNF receptor family. It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-linked cell surface receptor for both GDNF and NTN, and mediates activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. This gene is a candidate gene for Hirschsprung disease. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq].
Gene References into function
- The expression of GFRA1 in normal infants and normoganglionic colon of patients with Hirschsprung's disease was restricted to receptor tyrosine kinase(RET)-negative glial cells and RET-positive neurons of the ganglionic plexus.
- GFRA1-193C > G and 537T > C could be in linkage disequilibrium with other loci responsible for medullary thyroid cancer
- analysis of binding surface for the GDNF-GFR alpha 1
- Gas1 is related to the GDNF alpha receptors and regulates Ret signaling
- Loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra may induce changes in the expression of GDNF but not its receptor snd Parkinson disease.
- The role of heparin and heparan sulfate in GDNF signalling remains unclear, but the present study indicates that it does not occur in the first step of the pathway, namely GDNF-GFRalpha1 engagement.
- GFRalpha-1 were observed within sensory and motor nuclei of cranial nerves, dorsal column nuclei, olivary nuclear complex, reticular formation, pontine nuclei, locus caeruleus, raphe nuclei, substantia nigra, and quadrigeminal plate.
- GDNF can act as an important component of the inflammatory response in breast cancers and its effects aare mediated by GFR alpha 1 receptors.
- direct receptor-receptor interactions are not required for high affinity GDNF binding to NCAM but play an important role in the regulation of NCAM-mediated cell adhesion by GFRalpha1
- GDNF is a key component to preserve several cell populations in the nervous system and also participates in the survival and differentiation of peripheral neurons.
- analysis of how GDNF.GFR alpha 1 can mediate cell adhesion and how heparin might inhibit GDNF signaling through RET
- 38 cases of germ cell tumors: 26 cases contained immature teratoma, of which 24 had immature neuroepithelium and showed strong membrane staining for GFRalpha-1. staining for GFRalpha-1 in immature neuroepithelium may facilitate its identification.
